Antiques Appraisal

Do you have old treasures lying around that you suspect may be worth something? Have you ever watched Antiques Roadshow on PBS and wished you could have your own items appraised by an antiques expert? Rex Newell, an antiques dealer with over 20 years of appraisal experience, will be at the Library to inspect your old possessions. Brought to you in partnership with the River Forest Township.

Registration is required if you plan to bring an item for appraisal. Up to 40 people can each bring one item. In the notes field, please confirm that you will be bringing an antique. The program is also open to spectators, and Rex will deliver a presentation on the antiques business. If you are not bringing an antique, you do not need to register.

Please note: Rex does not appraise Asian antiques, Native American antiques, or firearms of any kind.
